I was getting to the point yesterday afternoon where I was fairly convinced I was having at least a fizzle … some reasonably significant pain in the afternoon, tiredness too, and by the time I went to bed I couldn’t find a comfortable position because however I lay something hurt.

I’d had a busy, fun evening and a very unhealthy dinner! Yesterday was the night of our local sewing/quilting/crafting/whatever group and as a friend of mine who works locally but lives some way away also goes along, I asked if she wanted to come back to ours for a quick bite to eat before we went. I warned her it would only be pizza because we were in a hurry … so not a healthy start there … and she kindly contributed a chocolate putting with chocolate sauce AND cream for afters! Oh dear … but yum.

Erm no … before i got lots of angry comments, I’m not entirely serious! But it does show how careful you have to be not to attribute RA (or lack of it) to things without doing some serious research and testing!

Glad you’re feeling better. Sometimes flares just seem to come and go mysteriously and can’t be attributed to anything in particular. My wrist is fine now, too, after it was so inflamed on the weekend. Sometimes RA just can’t be explained.

Glad the “fizzle” fizzled, Polly. I think I’m in an ongoing fizzle these days — the aggravation is just constant. I wish I’d appreciated all those pain-free days more when I had them…

Thanks for the great post, earlier, about your physio. My doc has referred me to physical therapy now — he was pleased to do so when I asked, which made me smile — so I’ll have some first-hand experience myself, soon.

Mmm, chocolate pizza … now dthere’s an idea, Wren! Sorry about the permanent fizzle – that’s how I was feeling a couple of months ago … thinking it would never end; and then I’ve had a couple of months almost pain free … so you never know. Try that chocolate pizza and who knows … it might send you into remission. ;o)

LOL! Temptress indeed … would definitely have to be plain chocolate to go with roasted soya beans!! Not 100% sure about chocolate pizza, but do like the sound of Warm Socks’ chocolate tortilla …how about one of them on Friday night, Maggie? I bet the kids would approve … probably approve even more of a chocolate pizza! Go easy on the soya beans though, as I broke a tooth on one last night! Got it sorted at the lovely dentist’s this morning, came back, ate a couple of soya beans and go a bit stuck down the side of the very same tooth!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaargh. Off on a toothpick hunt now!

Ah … that’s better. ‘The boss’ has rather taken to them too … although she’s far too young to need to worry about hot flushes yet!

A bit about me

My name is not Pollyanna and I'm not a penguin. If you'd not worked out the last bit you should probably stop reading this and seek out a psychologist.

This is a blog about me and rheumatoid arthritis - sounds like fun, huh? Well I'm hoping it'll be a bit more fun than it sounds - hence the Pollyanna part. I'm going to try to stay positive about it and play 'Pollyanna's glad game' - finding reasons to be cheerful basically.

If you really want to know more see the 'About me' page.
